Always blame the trainer. If a dog attacks people unprovoked, you're right, we've got a problem. If a dog attacks people on command we've got a good puppy who can likely be put to use in a junk yard or something.

Why would there be innocent bystanders? Get a gun, get practice and/or training, know your target and what's behind it. For the dog, point blank would be easy. If you can kick a dog, you can put the muzzle right up to the upper chest and pull the trigger. A good hollow point won't even come close to exiting the chest cavity.

As for the nutjob, center of mass. A single shot is enough to stop the threat. Wait for him to stand still and laugh in between punches.

Pit bulls weigh no more than 70 pounds. You pick them up by the throat and then pin them on their back (this will work with any dog), holding their throat. You don't even have to choke. Just a little pressure will do it. Guess what they do? Nothing. They give up. They give up because they lost the fight. Here's a word to the wise - Don't get into a fight with an animal that's already in fight mode. End the fight. F'ing morons.

I've asked this over and over and over again. They're mental. I know, they're a childhood friend, even those can be mental as well. It sucks. Will be a year this weekend and I still ask that question, almost every farking day.

There is no answer. Besides the fact that they're mental unstable assholes.

Coelacanth:This whole thing could've been avoided if somebody had brought heavy caliber sidearms to the wedding...

/Being sarcastic. Can you tell?

How? On Fark, at least 6 people seriously say this every thread. Exhibit A:

duenor:Had a guest been wearing a 9mm subcompact neatly concealed in a waistband holster under his/her jacket, the following would've occurred:

1. many fewer bites, dead dog. sorry, any dog that attacks unprovoked needs to be put down. likewise, any dog (other than police dogs) that has proven willing to attack people, unprovoked, on cue needs to be put down. two shots to the heart, three inches diagonal down from front shoulder, ought to do it (my anatomy may be off)

2. no one would be wondering where the nutjob is. he would be easily located in the county morgue or intensive care unit.

It probably would have been better all around if the shot had missed by a few inches and killed the bride instead, anyway. He would have been spared years of misery!

Did you notice a comment towards the end.. I get the impression that by "spending time" with him she was actually taking advantage of an emotionally damaged/confused person.. probably slept with him a few times and in his mind he didn't know how to handle that she was just using him and marrying someone else. My 2-cents. Still bro.. brass knuckles and attack dogs aren't how you deal with romantic issues.

What are the chances that I do not fit any of those categories? It must be a million to one. I am a responsible woman who worked as a licensed veterinary nurse where I rescued a dying 6 week old puppy.
